Hello I am really not good at these so please bear with me. I am 17 turning 18 in July. I am mentally ill.

I have been on my own ever since I was 15. My mom died when I was born (due to massive blood loss). Ever since then I was treated unfairly.

I was abused physically and mentally by family.

They never really took care of me properly. I am living paycheck to paycheck. I work at a local wash house and it doesn’t pay well. The most I ever get on a good day is $150.

I never really had a good life growing up, it felt like I was living in hell, I never had a proper education. I was always beaten. They used other methods on me where I still have scars and new ones.

I always want to leave and be on my own but I can not keep a stable job. And no one would want to hire anyone with the scars I have. I have one on my cheek that reaches from the center to the corner of my mouth that is still healing.

I get ‘looks’ every day. I am a broken person inside and out. I have been told to kill myself from family members from a young age. I never felt love in my whole life, I always felt hate, just hate.

We’ve moved from house to house, apartment to apartment. I never had a stable place to live, let alone to sleep. I have suffered and still suffer from mental illnesses.

Honestly waking up is very hard for me to do. I go to bed and wake up crying. I self harmed and people are surprised that I made it this far. If you want to know more please don’t be afraid to message me.

I don’t usually ask for donations but anything would help. If you want to donate please message or come to my Twitter which is twitter.com/kingyuggie and ask for my email to donate to my Paypal. Thank you for taking the time to read this.
